      I am far from being a knee-jerk defender of Friedman, but one should not rule out a priori the possibility that in the instances you reference Brimelow was mischaracterizing Friedman

      More than possible but I think there was a traffic of ideas there which is worth researching.

      I completely agree with that point.

      I actually don't know whom you are referring to?

      Ok, that would be a pretty interesting research topic, to be sure, but Brimelow is probably not among the first 100 names that pop into my head when I hear the proper noun "Friedmanite" mentioned.

      It was part of the shift from ideological warfare to cultural warfare that characterized turn from late Cold War to 1990s.

      Also a basic rise in the presence of genetic data. Direct gene sequencing begins taking off in the '80s. 1989 was the discovery of the genetic basis of cystic fibrosis, a major landmark in identifying genetic causation. 1988 is "mitochondrial Eve" "Out of Africa" paper.

      I'm sure that played a role but ... if you look at the major advocates (Bell Curve, Brimelow etc) they rarely cite new genetics but rather revive earlier stuff (twin studies, Jensen).

          Fair enough. But they had been citing themselves and each other in places like Mankind Quarterly for a long time. I'm not a historian here, but I'm tempted to think the movement to a more mainstream stage was greased by changes in public discourse around genetic data.

          Another data point. Rushton spoke as a keynote at AAAS in 1989. That prompted a backlash from AAPA (physical anthropology) that led to draft statement against scientific racism in 1992, ratified in 1996 (and updated earlier this year).
